We take on the biggest and bulkiest challenges

In today’s world of harmonization and uniformity, the airfreight business frequently finds itself outside the norm and caters for all shapes and sizes. Because outsize cargo involves large and irregular dimensions, loading and off-loading equipment is not straight-forward and only a few freighter aircraft and cargo airlines can take such cargo.

We are the exception and specialized in handling the most difficult loads, thanks to our modern fleet, our experienced, dedicated and expert staff, our extensive ground facilities and our state-of-the-art cargo systems.

Your benefits with Cargolux:

Dedicated all-cargo carrier with a large fleet of nose-door equipped Boeing 747 freighters

Our aircraft easily accommodate 20m lengths and longer, heights up to 3m and we regularly handle shipments wider than 3.4m

Fast and reliable with distinctive time savings over ground transportation

Dense cargo up to 27 tons as well as long cargo up to 56 tons can be accomodated on our aircraft

Peace of mind
